The new line is available from this week from shop.hersheys.com as shoppers are given their first chance to get a lead on the spooky season, which has evolved into one of the most significant confectionery moments of the year in the US, as well as around the world.

Notably, the brand has significantly invested in Halloween each year, delivering a number of product novelties on an annual basis, as well as delivering experiences including themed rides as its American Hersheypark.

The new Reese’s pumpkin line is a limited release, at $24.99 per 32oz bag, while supplies last, with further related product lines anticipated from the company to mark the occasion.

Furthermore, the company has also released seasonal plans for its Hershey’s Chocolate World attraction at the company’s flagship location in Hershey, PA in America.
